I understand Carol’s outlook on life, but I disagree with your assessment that she’s right and Thomas is wrong. I personally suffer from a similar problem… that I know I’m meant for greater things. The problem isn’t exactly that we don’t have the drive to get to where we want to go through hard work. I personally have Carol-esque work ethic (I’m not afraid of hard work, and I even enjoy the challenge of it). The problem is mostly that we have no idea which direction to go in and are afraid that if we strike out in the wrong one that we’ll regret it and the time we wasted chasing the wrong thing. So, in a nutshell… what we need is our ‘ah-ha’ moment. The moment that other successful people get when they are young that says ‘I want to be such-and-such when I grow up!’. Because as soon as we’ve figured out what we really want, nothing will stand in our way to get it.
